Please note: due to damage from the January 2026 bushfires, sections of the Great Victorian Rail Trail are closed. As of 25 February 2026, the Great Victorian Rail Trail is open from Tallarook all the way through to the Cheviot Tunnel just outside of Yea, and from Merton through to Mansfield.
The Great Victorian Rail Trail is your ticket to off-road riding for all levels of two wheeled explorer. Choose from a range of short, medium and long route sections and discover charming towns, outdoor artwork, rolling green hills and natural waterways.
Base yourself in Mansfield for cracking local produce and ride to Bonnie Doon for views of majestic mountains and Lake Eildon. Celebrate your Tallarook to Trawool pedal with lunch and drinks at one of Trawool's four restaurants and bars, or test Victoria's longest rail trail tunnel on the family-friendly Yea to Cheviot Tunnel section.
